The Old Manor

A house, dating to the late 16th century, with extensions added in the 17th and 18th centuries and some later alterations. The house is timber-framed with whitewashed brick infill, with the ground floor of some sections rebuilt in whitewashed brick. A plinth is present, incorporating some flint and rendered sections. The roof is tiled, with rebuilt brick chimneys locating the outer bays. Originally three bays, it has a two-storey gabled cross wing to the right. The left-hand bay is blank, while the remaining bays feature casement windows with diamond leading, mostly renewed, and heavy timber sills. Three-light casement windows are found in the right bay and the ground floor of the second bay; the upper right window has a 19th-century Tudor wooden hoodmould. The centre bays have half-hipped dormers with four-light casement windows, with the outer lights triangular. An old board door, in the second bay, is sheltered by a half-hipped timber-framed porch, flanked by two-light casements. A later single-storey extension to the rear of the cross wing is constructed of whitewashed brick. Inside, a large double-sided chimney stack rises between the right bays; stop-chamfered spine beams are present in the centre bays, and a moulded and stopped spine beam in the right bay. Large wind braces are also visible. Formerly known as Russell's Farmhouse.
